The Entrepreneurial Life of Stephen Mitchell
Writing About My Life, Work, Creativity, and the Daily Effort to Learn, Grow, and Be Better.
In 2016… Almost 10 years ago I said I’d been blogging online for 10 years — but it was actually longer than that. Way back in 1999, I was just jotting down thoughts and publishing them as separate pages on my Telstra personal page. Those pages don’t exist anymore. From memory, I then moved to...

This week brings an improved version of an illustration, created especially to fund and support my new program All Aussie Artists. My radio show - broadcast every Tuesday night from 6pm to 8pm on Kangaroo Island’s 5KIxFM90.7 Community Radio Station - is all about giving homegrown musicians a proper spotlight, and building a playlist that...

OK, our editors might have that slightly wrong. Maybe they meant to say the unusually shiny, suspiciously well-behaved interstellar object currently spreading its seed around our galaxy. Yet we will let it slide. AbstractRecent observations of the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS have produced findings so inconsistent with established astrophysical theory that the research team briefly considered...

Recently, whilst shifting into 'solo accommodation', a realisation struck: I don’t own a single side lamp. Not for my desk, not for the lounge. So, naturally, I fell into the rabbit-hole of a late-night Google search - and here are the results, displaying quite a few floor and table lamps that peaked my interest! Lighting...

The spark is finally back: My vlogging journey has been reinvigorated, lit by transformation and creative fire. Why/How? My personal life has recently shifted in unexpected ways, and the the world around us has had some massive upheavals. Consequently I refocused my blogging mid 2025 to write about those subjects. Yet I’ve wanted to return... Continue Reading →
If I could give one piece of advice to younger couples just starting out, it would be this: Talk. Talk about everything. Not just the big-ticket stuff like money, family, or plans for the future - include the small, awkward things too. The things that feel too petty or too complicated to bring up. Your...

As I am now a 55+ year old, I am enjoying reading blogs by equally impressive people of a similar age. My current favourite site to read is https://greymatter.gallery/ . Thanks to one of my oldest friends (not her years alive; our years knowing each other!) Charlie Helen Robinson, I have recently read an article... Continue Reading →
I’m confident there’ll be another relationship in my future. Not in a rushed or desperate way, just a steady belief that connection comes around again when you’re ready for it. And when it does, I’ll be walking into it with a clearer idea of what matters most. For me, that means keeping communication up front... Continue Reading →
Alright, here’s the deal: running my primary website - http://www.ezcreate.com.au - isn't always as simple as I'd like it to be. Random downtime, upload speeds, refresh rate, easy portal or FTP access, and over the years there have been various issues with other hosts I have dealt with. Including selling out and closing down! Cue... Continue Reading →
